There had been many important and influential teachers in Esmeralda's
life. Why did she choose to desribe a conversation with the teacher
who was also on the panel to judge her audition?

Esmeralda ended her autobiography with a powerful conclusion:

"P.A. '66," I said to no one in particular. "One of these
days."

What prompted to say this, silently, to herself?

Looking at the structure of all the chapters in this book, you will
notice that Esmeralda's own recollection of her life was sandwiched
between the Prologue and the Epilogue. The Prologue and the Epilogue
are about events much more recent than the things described in the body
of the book. Discuss why she chose to use such a technique, and explain
what makes this narrative technique powerful and successful.
